Ornate hand-carved and painted walking cane owned and used by Johnny Cash. Cane measures 35? long, and features a rattlesnake coiled along the shaft and an owl perched at the top. The detail on the animals is extraordinary down to individual scales and feathers on the respective animals. Carved just below the owl is “Burch 82.” In fine condition, with expected wear.
Cash’s declining health in the 1990s caused him to rely on walking with a cane before he eventually became wheelchair bound. This cane, believed to have been one of Cash’s favorites, was one of seven offered by Sotheby’s in the 2004 Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash estate sale. The bidding was very competitive and garnered considerable publicity when it sold for $78,000. Accompanied by a photocopied newspaper article from the New York Times reporting on the estate auction, including a photo of the same cane. An exquisite cane with impeccable provenance.
